OXFORD, Ohio (AP) -- A chapter of a fraternity founded in 1855 at Miami University in Ohio has been suspended after authorities said members repeatedly engaged in hazing and other unacceptable behavior.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/HH4RtN) officials at the national headquarters of Sigma Chi (KEYE) International say in a letter to university administrators that members of the chapter harassed, abused or humiliated others in recent years and that some had been accused of drug or alcohol abuse.

Representatives of the fraternity met last week with members of the chapter to inform them of the suspension. Officials say the chapter could be reinstated after current members graduate.
